Not by a long shot. Both the dial, hands, and bracelet are aftermarket things. Who knows whether the works are genuine, although that, too, is doubtful.

Personally, it's one ugly time piece.

The watch might be authentic but the rest is aftermarket.

Try $100K (10x what you quoted, Tom). And there are certainly better ways to spend $100K, as you suggested.

You mean $100k?

No, that watch looks awful too. You could get some amazing genuine pieces in that price range.

Is this day date authentic? $100000 asking

Seriously many are to quick to judge these were made for a middle eastern market by Rolex in the 70's. I am on a phone so cannot say for sure this watch is all authentic but I would say it is the band diamond setting is correct the dial is myriad diamond and if the watch is platinum and if that bezel has 46 diamonds it probably is. I am getting on a plane so I do not have time to count and too small on a phone the watch is one of those ordered by a middle eastern rich customers usually sultans in the 70's.

It's a SeaKing Ultra limited edition run of 1 piece. Wait, I think I saw it on sale at Costco.
